    Social Learning Course: Introduction

    This course is on the new social dynamic and group interaction.

    Social Learning Course :Course Outline

    Thanks to the internet and social media, everybody you know belongs to some kind of group, sometimes an online group and sometimes a real life group. Both types of social interaction require the same group dynamics to keep the group alive and moving forward. As our style of interacting socially has changed, our style of learning has changed. Older people may still feel comfortable in a lecture room style of learning, however younger people, raised on a diet of the internet and fast food, connect regularly online and what was first a game really (role-playing) , became an important teaching tool of tomorrow. This workshop examines social learning at work and the five elements needed to make learning at work in a socially integrated group effective and successful. Group dynamic Effective and constant communication is essential to any group’s survival. Collaboration is an important part of any group dynamic; any time group members work together they are collaborating. When creating social groups it is important to make sure they are diverse, diversity encourages learning. Social learning culture at work. For any group to survive at work, the company itself and the senior managers need to support and encourage a passion for learning. Social groups at work should be encouraged and group leaders should recognise achievements and expertise among members. The group must be safe for members to share their knowledge and negative feedback or criticism should be eliminated. People should be eager to learn and feel safe doing do. Social cohesion is gained by imitation and modelling positive role models. Role – playing Role-playing is the difference between theoretically learning and learning by practice. The group leader can identify work related scenarios and group members can add variables and assign roles. The group leader can prepare the role players and the whole group (if it is feasible to do so) can take turns acting out the scenario. In the workshop we present, we will teach participants how to debrief role players, and how to mirror good examples.TIP: General role-playing tips: Ask for feedback after the demonstration. Do not force people to participate in demonstrations. Pair the role-play with a game to make it more interesting. Try to keep the group small so that people can observe better. Utilizing the right tools There are many tools to use for social learning, too many to list completely in this newsletter – however there are some honourable mentions, such as mentoring. It’s a classic social teaching tool whereby the mentor teaches by example. Social media gets a mention because it is part and parcel of life today and will be tomorrow. Job shadowing is another teach by example tool and finally, there is gamification. It’s a fact that people learn more and learn better by making a game of things. Modelling and observational learning This is the core of social learning, people are inspired by leaders as well as peer role models. Being a role model boosts one’s self- efficiency and generates engagement socially. 1. Introduction
